Hi Bro

I need your professional advice. My house just completed the renovation.
I went to MBSJ to apply for CF and also claimed the deposit RM1000 which I paid for renovation plan submitted for approval earlier.
However, the MBSJ OIC informed me to let my architect handle it and do not want to liaise with me.

My architect told me he will charge another RM350 for applying CF for me and he cannot guarantee that I will get the CF orthe deposit will return because based on his experience, MBSJ officer will give all kind of excuses to stop us from getting back our deposit, e.g. the wall is different by 1 or 2 inch from the plan.
But he guarantee me that I will not have any issue when selling house in the future.

MY question is
1. What are the potential issues for house without CF after renovation (e.g.:Back extention 10sqft).
2. Is that true that it is difficult to get the CG and deposit even though I have follow the proper way to submit renovation plan before renovation?
As my architect has been trying to convince me to forgone the RM1000 deposit so that I can save the additional RM350 and the hassle to prepare the documents?

Really appreciate if you can resolve my inquiry. Many thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply!

Full Extension of backyard, and made it become wet kitchen and toilet.
Exiting toilet's wall has been demolish. The original layout was change.
My contractor did follow the layout of the drawing plan, however, the size is not right.
E.g. Width of the kitchen should be 13 ft as per drawing plan, He made it became 14.5 ft when it was built up. Will it become an issue when we want to get CCC or claimed my deposit?

Architect did pass the receipt to me, RM1000 deposit was paid to MBSJ.

If without CCC, it will only affect insurance claim? Anything else will be affected?
